I ended up making a rather large amount of purchases from GOG: the entire catalog for Prince of Persia, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Vaporum, Hotline Miami 2, and Men of War: Assault Squad.

I hope you feel better soon Perfect Dark!

To be fair I kept buying models that cost $20 to $30 so maybe the higher end ones would last longer. That said, my Moondrops wired headphones cost the same but are way more reliable.

Step 2: Blow out your ear drums.

Same. I can’t find any Bluetooth headphones whose batteries don’t die in 4 or 5 months anyway. Meanwhile my Moondrop wired headphones have been going strong for almost 3 years.

No bugs to cuddle up with? Try snakes!

Looks like AutoCAD. You can program coordinates to define the drawing in a lot of ways. I only ever used it for 2D drawings but did employ its coordinate system to speed up the process. I’m guessing a real power user could program some interesting models with it.

Few words are dirtier to Republicans than “nationalize”. They must be torn between following their god-emperor’s hurt feelings and allowing Musk’s company to be taken over by the government. The best I see them doing is cancelling all contracts and subsidies with SpaceX/Tesla and passing them off to its competitors.

Good. I never trusted those integrated apps and thought of them as spyware. Mozilla should go back to focusing on making a lean browser and whatever apps they want to offer should be optional instead of hard coded into their flagship product.

I can do it for the video card but some lights on the mobo are for status so that’s not easily doable.

Lit PC setups are nice and all until you try to go to sleep with them in the same room. I miss plain old PC cases that hide their components so I can seed overnight.

They were worth it though. There was one across the street from my high school and I’d play dota, CS 1.6, and StarCraft on LAN with some buddies after school. Nothing beat that experience and it’s a shame we lost something this great.

Most recently it’s Clair Obscur Expedition 33. There’s an actual overworld map but you need to get your bearings in area maps and dungeons because there are none. You’ll have to use local landmarks to get around, find clues for hidden areas, and the direction you actually need to go. I’ve spent hours in single areas just getting lost admiring the design and artwork.

14TB RAID1 setup reporting in.

We need more anime in theaters here. I couldn’t get to see Gundam Gquuuuuux because the showtimes were too few and far from my area.

Considering how badly Nvidia’s been pricing their dGPUs, the market’s ripe for a low cost alternative to fill a niche for years to come.

There’s a cyberpunk novel called Feed in which some teenager got a trendy Nike tattoo that would force him to say “Nike” in every sentence. I think that’s the next step in our deliberate effort to pay for the privilege of branding ourselves.

It works remarkably well for a lot of things if you put a little effort into it. Depending on the distro, you might have a little more trouble trying to fix something. For my use case it can do gaming, CAD, office work, and some light programming just fine with some quirks and tradeoffs. Lemmy in general is a good place to ask troubleshooting questions too

Gentoo was mentioned more actually.

I’ve worked with a bunch of hardcore Linux users in my career, some of whom even knew about Lemmy. Not one of them have ever worn striped socks though.

RTX 3080 owner here. I get a black screen whenever I try to play a game after the desktop goes to sleep in Linux Mint. The only workaround is to restart the PC and play it before its screensaver comes on. The struggle is real.
